In a grinding jar add ginger,garlic, cuminseeds,cinnamon,cardamom,black pepper and clove.
Make a fine paste.
Slice onions.
Heat oil in a kadhai and add bay leaves.
My husband and daughter don't like whole garam masala in gravy. So I prefer to grind them. If u wish add few whole garam masala. In that case reduce the amount in the masala paste accordingly.
Add onion and saute. When onions change color add chicken. Stir.
Fry for 6 to 8 minutes in medium flame.
Add chopped spring onions and stems of coriander leaves.
Saute another 2 minutes,now add 2 tbsp of the ground paste.
Fry till masala leaves oil.stir in between to prevent burning.
Mean while add rest of dry masala. Mix really well till the dry powders mix well with the chicken. Worm about a cup and a half of water. If u like potatoes add cubed potato. Add salt. Mix and add worm water.
Give a nice stir and cover. Check in between till the chicken and potatoes are cooked. Gravy should not be too runny.
Add crushed kasuri Methi.
Switch off the flame and garnish with coriander leaves. Give a 5 minutes stand.
Serve hot with steamed rice.
